Coaches

From a very young age, I knew I wanted to be able to help as many people as possible. I grew up playing as many sports as I could manage. As I got older I decided to focus on Football and Track. I loves fast and explosive movements, but I'm not afraid to "run a marathon", hypothetically speaking. I am a huge believer in Squats and strong legs. After a short period of time in our system you will start noticing a major boost in confidence, endurance, strength and flexibility. My goal is to teach you that fitness isn't a trend, but a lifestyle. We aren't looking for a quick fix, we are looking to make small changes daily to help us create a permanent solution.

Kerry Marsh grew up competing in gymnastics, finishing out her career at Utah Gymnastics where she earned a NCAA Division I scholarship. Kerry has coached gymnastics for 20+ years and owned a gymnastics gym for 14 years that currently trains over 800 students. When she moved to Texas two years ago, she tried out Crossfit and was immediately hooked. Being a coach at heart, she has paid special attention during her time at crossfit to improve her technical knowledge so that she may better help her teammates. She recently earned her Crossfit Level 1 and is excited to share her passion for crossfit with others.

Please feel free to message her to setup times ten minutes before or after your regular class time to work on skills that you want to get extra pointers on!

Started weightlifting in 2008 through the powerlifting program at Alvin High School. After graduating from Alvin in 2009 with two state titles and a second place #nish at the USA Weightlifing University National Championships I moved to Louisiana to a)end LSU Shreveport. I trained at the USAW Center for High Performance and Development under International Coach Dr. Kyle Pierce for 3.5 years.

I also had the opportunity to train with the 2011 Colombian National Weightlifing Team and with multiple Japanese Weightlifting Association Collegiate Athletes. In 2013 I moved to Colorado Springs to train at the U.S. Olympic Training Center to train as full time resident athlete as a 2016 Olympic hopeful under National Coach Zygmunt Smalcerz.

Grew up playing soccer and football as a kid. I really got into skateboarding in my teenage years. It wasn't till 1999 that I first set foot in a weight room, and really fell in love with bodybuilding and powerlifting. After high school I decided I wanted to help people set and achieve their fitness goals. I went to college in California and studied sports nutrition and sports physiology.

I remember stumbling upon the Crossfit Games on tv in 2014, watching these people running and lifting and other crazy stuff, and thinking I could do that. I sought out a Crossfit gym shortly after thinking I was going to crush the workout and blow everyone away......I didn't. It was one of the hardest workouts I'd ever done and I was the last person to finish it. I was hooked, I had to get back and find out how to get better.

At the beginning of 2017 I decided I didn't want to just train in Crossfit but to help train others. I received my CF-L1 in February of 2017 and have been actively helping people set and achieve their fitness goals since. As of April, 2018 I have officially become a CrossFit Level 2 Trainer and still love every step of this journey!
